The Micro SD Card will not play music thru the computer speakers, only head buds, or thru my Creative Travel Sound speakers which runs on batteries.
Will play MP3 music thru the computer speakers that has been added into the Internal Memory Folder(s).
Not sure if #2, or any part of it will play with this adapter system.
Interested in this adapter, just need a little more info before deciding one way or another.
XFire-GTO, the device that Rudy (rcompart) is offering here have 2 devices inside:
1. is an MP3 Player for a standard USB flash drive that can be controlled from factory NAV CD/Radio player, and
2. is an adapter to control iPod from factory NAV CD/Radio player.
You said you have 2 other MP3 players. You don't need (nor you can) to control an MP3 player with another MP3 player. If any of your MP3 players are acting like a standard removable drive while connected to a regular computer, then most-likely it will work with this device, but it would be used like a regular flash drive with some limitations of the NAV unit (such as the ability to address only 6 folders which are pretending to be CD's, and maximum 99 files inside, which is the number of tracks allowed per single Audio CD.
That means forget about any buttons or controls on your MP3 player. They will not be utilized. You may as well go and buy a flash driver for a few bucks instead of using an MP3 player like a drive.
The second part of the device - iPod controller is an exception. It is designed to be connected to iPod (and compatible devices) only. Since your MP3 players are not iPod then it has nothing to do with you.
The only exception would be if the device Rudy builds would have a pass-trough audio input, then you could connect whatever you want to it and use all the buttons on your own device to navigate and select the music, but as far as I know this iPod controller doesn't have the audio input.
Am I correct, Rudy?
